* 1 batch of Poolish
* 5g easy Bake Yeast or 10 g fresh yeast
* 600g white Bread Flour (half strength - see Variations below)
* 50g Wheat Semolina, plus a little more for sprinkling
* 8g Salt
* 210ml or more of water

===Method===
* If making by Hand, dissolve the fresh Yeast in, place in a floured bowl,add the other ingredients and Knead thoroughly for 10 minutes.
* Cover with a cloth and allow to rise until it has doubled in size - about 1-2 hours.
* If using a Bread machine, place the ingredients in the pan in the order given in your manufacturer's manual.
* Set to a basic Dough programme - in the Panasonic SD-253/254/255, this will take about 2 hours and 20 minutes. For the Panasonic SD-ZB2502 automatic breadmaker, this is menu option 16.
* Knock back the Dough on a floured board and shape into two loaves.
* Place on a baking tray, which has been sprinkled with some Semolina and sprinkle some more semolina on top of the loaves.
* Because the Dough is soft, allow enough space for each loaf to spread.
* Cover and leave to rise for a further two hours.
* Preheat the Oven to 250° C (475° F - gas 9) and place a try of water in the bottom of the oven. Alternatively, you can spray the Bread with water 2 or 3 times during its Baking period.
* When the Oven is hot, reduce the temperature slightly and make some cuts in the Bread (a Grignette is best for this).
* Bake for 40 minutes or until the Bread sounds hollow when tapped.
